Hello,

I would like to suggest you start again 5 days of Antibiotic course: Drop. Amox as per the body weight.

Shall be better n safe option. Along with cough Syp containing : expectorant +bronchodialator & Antihistamines(Anticold) preparation. B-Complex Syp. Also need to be given simultaneously.

I would also suggest you give lukewarm water - soups frequently. Need to monitor temperature 4 hourly. Avoid exposure to cold weather.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
